Volleyball stats track what each player does on every contact. The core stats are kills, attack errors and total attempts (for hitting percentage), assists, service aces and errors, digs, blocks and serve receive ratings.
Core stats and formulas
| Stat | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Kill (K) | Attack that directly wins the point |
| Attack error (E) | Attack out, into the net or blocked for a point |
| Hitting percentage | (Kills minus errors) divided by total attempts |
| Assist (A) | Pass or set to a teammate who gets a kill |
| Ace (SA) | Serve that directly scores |
| Dig (DIG) | Successful pass of an attacked ball |
| Block (solo or assist) | Block that scores a point |
Tips for statkeepers
- Use a stat sheet or app with player numbers listed.
- Track one or two stats per person if you have helpers.
- Rate serve receive on a 0 to 3 scale.
- Double-check totals after each set.
- Share stats with coaches soon after the match.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, if the block wins the point directly.
How are blocks shared?
A solo block counts as 1; each player in a multi-player block gets a block assist.
